What does it mean by the statement, "Yet in this valley of desolation there is a path that leads him to immortality who has surrendered all selfishness" ?
Answers
Answer:
For the people who aren't selfish, there is a path that leads to the eternal life (living forever) even if they are in a way that is completely empty (after their death).
"Yet in this valley of desolation there is a path that leads him to immortality who has surrendered all selfishness."
Explanation:
These lines are an extract from 'The Sermon at Benares'. By this lines, it means that man is mortal and will eventually die one day. There is no one who haven't come across grief and death of a loved one. But the ones who are unselfish and seeks to help and live happily will be remembered forever by the people.
As in the story Kisa Gotami tries to revive her death son, she only realizes that she is not the only one who has seen grief and sorrow. As she tries to collect the mustard seeds from those families who have seen no deaths, she couldn't find any. It makes her realize that she got selfish in her grief and understood that death is an eventual reality of life.
